Contractions??

Question

I keep getting a period like cramp but it only lasts for a few seconds and then goes away. I’m wondering if they’re just Braxton Hicks or what?? Babygirl has been moving NON-STOP all day and killing my ribs so I’m not sure if it’s a contraction or her just moving too fast and causing some tenderness. I’m a FTM and a little lost.

Answer

My bh and real contractions always felt like period cramps. The difference is consistency. If they last longer than an hour they're real contractions

Answer

Could be the start of real contractions! I just know my BH don’t necessarily feel like period cramps. A different kind of discomfort so if I get period like cramps I’d probably start timing them.

Answer

I get them every night for the past few days. I’m 36 weeks. Usually when I sit down at night up until I go to sleep, around 3 hours. When I lay down they get worse. I’ve been trying to figure out what it is too. I don’t remember this with my first.
